ROY Turner was the first winner of the new mid-week qualifying competitions at County Armagh.

Returning a top score of 40 points, he edged the win on countback from Martin Gill who also returned a similar score.

The white-marker qualifying competition has been introduced by Club Competitions Convenor Davy Baird for at least the month of September golfers suffering withdrawal symptoms since the competition of the Tuesday Cup.

More than sixty took to the course for the first event with some excellent scoring - the best of the day from 10-handicapper Roy Turner who returned 19 and 21 points front and back nines respectively.

Martin Gill's 40 points was, in contrast, 21 and 19 points front and back - birdie 2s at the 9th and 11th holes helping him on the way.

Gerard McCoy was one of three players just a point in arrears on 39 points, Paul Doyle and Phil Kelly the others who picked up 4th and 5th prizes.

Ben Simpson took the Seniors Prize with 38 points. And Stewart Lee recorded the Best Gross Score on the day with 34points
